Its been a while since I have had a match. Honestly I am not complaining the time off has really helped me. Its let me recover from some much needed fatigue. Now I am finally getting a little time to heal both physically and mentally.
“Yeah honestly I think I was so burnt out, I wasn't able to think clearly anymore, ever since the virus hit, everything has been so close to the vest. Everyone seems to be so on edge. Its been hard. I do not even watch the news anymore. Each day its just people passing away, getting sick and sick, this virus spreading and governors and states do not seem to care, they want to open everything back up as if everything were fine. I do not get it. I do not get it at all. I know money matters more than people but this is taking it to the extreme.”
Emerson is seen packing his small suitcase as he is getting his things ready to travel to Mesa Arizona.
“Not sure why Harold picked a southern state, with summer about to start I would hope he would pick states like Alaska, Maine, New Hampshire, places like that where its close by the water and at night gets into the lower 50s. Hahaha that's where we ought to be.”
But I guess right now I need to be concentrating on my next challenge. That has to be Robert Saints. Well Robert you and I meet again. Honestly we have faced off so many times I stop keeping track of who won and who lost after a while. I know I’ve beaten you a few times and I know you’ve beaten me a few times. But now its for all the marbles. Winner takes home the world title. I honestly have had it a while dating back to before the ICW war.
But now its all too real. Robert you are a fine wrestler. You have more talent than me. But the question is, do you have more heart than me, and the answer is No. No you do not. Talent takes you very far in life, but the rest is just pure determination and pure will, pure heart and soul. And all that last part I got in spades.
In my life and in the ring I have to work three times as hard as anybody else. Everything that comes easy to most of you does not come easy to me. Running a mile is a chore for me, while I am sure running a mile for you, well you probably don't even break a sweat. Lifting 200 pounds in the weight room probably is no big deal for you. You study a move and you probably pick it up in a manner of hours. Me? It took me 3 months to figure out how to do a figure 4 leg lock! Hahaha, jeez Id cry if I weren't laughing at myself.
But here I am world champion. Chugging along every day, every match. Finding ways to win matches, to beat people I shouldn't be beating. Pulling rabbits out of hats and making a little bit of magic happen.
And although I may not be magic, every now and then I make some happen. It is satisfying to see happen. It shows that all my hard work, all my determination and suffering is not for nothing. I like to think that perhaps all my hard work is worth it.
There have been several checkpoints in my life that I find satisfying. Winning this world title more than once was definitely there. And I am happy to see all the new and returning faces in SFT. I am especially happy that Lucas Balkan is back. I know he’s always seen me as the literal underdog, I look up to him, sort of like a big brother.
But all that aside, Robert is my main concern right now and a valid concern that he is. Robert you’ve been in SFT long enough to know how things roll around here. You get what you earn. If anyone puts in the time and effort they are gonna go far in life and in SFT. But you gotta be willing to go that extra mile. To put in those extra ten minutes at the end of the day. I am not talking about the psychical stuff I am talking about investing your heart and soul into it. Do I make any sense?
You see Robert right now this is my title. It can easily be taken away by anyone in SFT. That is how talented everyone is. But you got to want it more than the other guy. So my question is, do you want it more than me? Well do you?
That is all I have for today.
